The long-lost feeling of grievance surged up in Zhang Yung’s heart once again, but having learned from the last experience, Zhang Yung quickly collected herself and greeted the other won with a smile.
Despite no one wanting to interact with her, out of deference to Gu Bai, the won gave her a lukewarm response.
Peng Shiba was the last to arrive because her company had an event on New Year’s Eve.
As soon as she walked in, Yi Yiyi, who was initially playing with her phone, lit up and exclaid, "Peng Shiba!"
With Xingnai dia’s intentional resource allocation, Peng Shiba leveraged her looks to beco a top-tier influencer with exposure comparable to that of most celebrities.
Yi Yiyi, being a short video enthusiast, imdiately recognized Peng Shiba.
Like Zhang Yung, Peng Shiba was montarily stunned upon entering, but she responded a bit faster than Zhang Yung. She quickly adopted her usual approachable social dia persona to blend in.
Unlike everyone else, Peng Shiba had everything because of Gu Bai. A single word from Gu Bai could take it all away. She had personally witnessed the Wu Qian incident—such a significant star was toppled mid-dinner conversation—currently likely preparing to watch the New Year’s show with fellow inmates.
So it was impossible for her to harbor any dissatisfaction towards Gu Bai.
Once everyone had arrived, Gu Bai checked his watch. It was almost 8 PM, and Chef Tan Shiye from Tang Pavilion had arrived with his team an hour earlier to prepare dinner for Gu Bai.
The lifestyle managent team had completed their tasks; looking at the beautiful won gathered here, they were filled with envy towards Gu Bai.
So many goddesses, barely one seen in everyday life, now six gathered here—all part of the life of the wealthy...
The team managent suppressed their envy and respectfully said to Gu Bai, "Chairman Gu, everything is arranged. If there is nothing else, we will be taking our leave."
"Thank you for your hard work."
After speaking, Gu Bai pulled out his phone and transferred 100,000 yuan to them.
"Take the money and have a good al tonight, celebrate the New Year well."
The team managent didn’t refuse and gratefully replied, "Thank you, Chairman Gu."
Gu Bai waved his hand and said no more.
"We will be leaving now, but I will specifically leave soone on duty. If you have any more needs, feel free to call ."
After this, the entire private managent team respectfully bowed to Gu Bai and turned to leave.
This scene was thrilling to the won. A team of more than a dozen individuals serving solely Gu Bai during a holiday is usually only seen in dramas, but now it unfolded before their eyes.
With the lifestyle managent team gone, Chef Tan Shiye from Tang Pavilion sent over his assistant.
The assistant, adorned in chef attire, stood notably nervously before Gu Bai. Tan Shiye had instructed him to show utmost respect; even Tang Pavilion’s owner valued Gu Bai’s status highly, hence arranging for him to prepare a private dinner for Gu Bai on New Year’s Eve.
"Chairman Gu, Chef Tan says the cuisine is ready, and inquires whether you wish to dine now."
Gu Bai nodded slightly.
"Let Chef Tan wait a mont, I have another guest."
"Okay."
Before the words settled, the doorbell rang.
At this hour, it could only be Ai Shengnan.
"Prepare for serving; my guest has arrived."
Upon Gu Bai’s instructions, Tan Shiye’s assistant hurriedly relayed the ssage to the kitchen.
Gu Bai rose to open the door, montarily surprised by Ai Shengnan standing there.
Probably having just showered, Ai Shengnan was dressed in loose loungewear, with hair only casually dried, the tips slightly damp. Even bare-faced, her beauty was undiminished.
Feeling slightly awkward under Gu Bai’s gaze, Ai Shengnan remarked.
"Makeup is too cumberso, so I just ca up bare-faced. Chairman Gu wouldn’t mind, would you?"
"Even bare-faced, President Ai can outshine many stars."
The laid-back state of Ai Shengnan displayed less of her usual businesswoman persona, but more relaxed charm, making her even more appealing.
"Co in, we’re waiting to start the dinner."
Gu Bai stepped aside to let Ai Shengnan pass through.
After observing the scene inside, Ai Shengnan teasingly remarked to Gu Bai, "Seems my arrival indeed disrupts Chairman Gu’s ’refinent’."
As per her investigation, Gu Bai had four won in Shanghai, but apparently had missed two.
Gu Bai didn’t respond, just gave a slight smile.
Ai Shengnan wasn’t concerned, walked up straight, exchanged greetings with the other won. In terms of appearance, Ai Shengnan wasn’t superior, but with years of comrce under her belt and high-ranking positions held, her aura effortlessly overshadowed theirs, presenting a mature femininity absent in these younger won.
"Celestial Joy Seat’s top floor, when I was buying a house I considered it but was deterred by the price. Now it’s apparent only soone of Chairman Gu’s status suits such a top-tier mansion."
Ai Shengnan bypassed bonding with the younger won, instead comnted on the property.
